Clouds moved in over Yuzawa during the day yesterday but it remained generally fine for the most part - with snow starting to fall in places while lifts were still moving.

Yesterday remained cloudy for the day, getting a bit brighter at times but never really clearing up.

So we got more snow yesterday morning and it gradually eased off during the day.

A generally fine day yesterday with lots of cloud around but a few spells of sunshine and blue sky too added into the mix.

Get to enjoy yesterday? I got to spend a few hours at Kagura where the snow was really great.

It was snow and mid-winter conditions through the day yesterday once again and light snow was falling when I got up earlier on this morning.

The snow hasn't stopped yet!

Snow, snow and more snow.

It took a while to get going yesterday but come mid-afternoon the snow was really coming down hard... real Snow Country-style heavy snow.

Lots of nature news yesterday with the eruption (see below for more on that - Yuzawa is totally unaffected) and the Kanto region still coping with the snowfall that they got.

Another 11cm of fresh snowfall to add to the report this morning. Kagura are reporting 10cm and Maiko are reporting 15cm.

After a lovely morning again yesterday, things started to cloud over in the afternoon and then some rain that turned into snow.

Yesterday ended up being another generally mild day with the sun finding a way through the clouds and a few spots of rain in the evening.

The clouds generally remained over Yuzawa for most of the day yesterday.
